In addition to the Titanic etc, Ballard has found and photographed a lot of sunken submarines and he wasn't doing it for himself, or for free.

Ready for some hot takes on what may be the most justified shooting of the century.

He was a convicted terrorist who had recently been released from prison early and was supposed to be wearing a tag.

I made a joke about how UK shouldn't send their cops on US LEO exchanges anymore to my wife.
Watching the video, it wasn't any where near a perfect response to the threat, but given the situation, I don't think they were in the wrong, given the circumstances.
They had to pull a civilian off the dude. They might have well thought, "the only reason this guy hasn't gone all misty is that he's busy loving with that dude on top of him" and then realize that is that is the case, it's only going to get worse.

okay so one of the people who grabbed the knife is on video ditching a huge bag of alleged cocaine after the srabbing, another guy who tackled the terrorist is a convicted murderer on parole, one person sprayed him with a fire extinguisher and the final guy stabbed the terrorist with a fuckin narwhal tusk

I mean, stellar observations aren't really things you can fudge around with. You say you found a thing and once the earth spins a little, the rest of the world can look in the exact same spot and check if you were full of poo poo.
The Keck observatory, and some other observatory in Spain already confirmed it.

If there's any medical research and it comes from India or China any of the medical orgs I've worked for will straight up refuse to acknowledge it if it's not backed by another western source. I would imagine that astrological stuff is similar but easier to prove of course.

This Twitter/Buttigieg thing will be far more common as millennial/Gen Z candidates seek office.

That being said, there’s probably a 6 year-old out there keeping this in mind as they select a Fortnite username.

Based on my careful research of Chinese restaraunt placemats, the Chinese have a thoroughly distinct set of assumptions when it comes to astrology that affects compatibility with the West.

Someone who has supposedly known Buttigieg since childhood said that he's a weirdo and has aspired to be president since he was a small child. Basically just dunking on him for being an elitist rear end in a top hat and weird to boot.

Isn't "be the President" easily in the top 10 of the list of things 6 year olds will say when you ask them what they want to be when they grow up?

Is it weird when someone who wanted to be an Astronaut when they are 6 and they actually work towards that for their entire life until they become one?

It’s more that Butt has a growing track record of having no real political will or drive behind the facade of “be president”. No substance under the suit.

It came off less, poo poo kids say and more "this man is a sociopath with only one goal in mind and he doesn't give a poo poo who he steps on to get there"

In a vacuum, a child saying they want to be president and then one day actually running for president isn't a big deal, but combined with his current persona and how he styles himself, I can understand why it just confirms people's beliefs about him.

According to the thread Pete was working on his resume at 5 and had decided he was gonna be president at 2. After having been around a couple of friends 2 year olds i have trouble believing anyone declared they would be president at 2

There’s plenty of bad things to say about him but those tweets were insanely weak. Like dang, he wanted to be president as a kid!!??! What a dunk!

I think there was one about how he cried when he was 6?

In case it wasn't clear, I don't think those tweets are smoking guns as to why Pete is a bad candidate. It's mostly funny but also a little "oh, yeah that sounds about right for him"

Like is this really passing the bar for how we evaluate literally anybody? It's total nonsense.

Pretty sure when I was six I wanted to be a robot.

Bitch, New York school district just hired a ~Career Councillor~ at a school for kids from K - 2.

In a Utopia world it would be the bombest job on Earth. The work day revolves around every kid in school gets a 15 minute talk with an adult who talks to you about whatever a kid wants to do. hell yeah yo to be an austronaut you gotta be like a scientists who flys jet planes to practice! In libsucc hell world he is telling 6 year olds to learn Excel and invest in a 401K and enlist in the military.
